  2. Maximum coverage problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_coverage_problem

    The algorithm has several stages. First, find a solution using greedy algorithm. In each iteration of the greedy algorithm the tentative solution is added the set which contains the maximum residual weight of elements divided by the residual cost of these elements along with the residual cost of the set.

  3. Greedy number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_number_partitioning

    In computer science, greedy number partitioning is a class of greedy algorithms for multiway number partitioning. The input to the algorithm is a set S of numbers, and a parameter k. The required output is a partition of S into k subsets, such that the sums in the subsets are as nearly equal as possible. Greedy algorithms process the numbers ...

  4. Weighted matroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_matroid

    A basic problem regarding weighted matroids is to find an independent set with a maximum total weight. This problem can be solved using the following simple greedy algorithm: Initialize the set A to an empty set. Note that, by definition of a matroid, A is an independent set. For each element x in E\A, check whether Au{x} is still an ...

  5. Set cover problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_cover_problem

    This greedy algorithm actually achieves an approximation ratio of (′) where ′ is the maximum cardinality set of . For δ − {\displaystyle \delta -} dense instances, however, there exists a c ln ⁡ m {\displaystyle c\ln {m}} -approximation algorithm for every c > 0 {\displaystyle c>0} .

  7. Assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    This algorithm may yield a non-optimal solution. For example, suppose there are two tasks and two agents with costs as follows: Alice: Task 1 = 1, Task 2 = 2. George: Task 1 = 5, Task 2 = 8. The greedy algorithm would assign Task 1 to Alice and Task 2 to George, for a total cost of 9; but the reverse assignment has a total cost of 7.

  8. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    One variation of this problem assumes that the people making change will use the "greedy algorithm" for making change, even when that requires more than the minimum number of coins. Most current currencies use a 1-2-5 series , but some other set of denominations would require fewer denominations of coins or a smaller average number of coins to ...

  9. Optimal substructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_substructure

    This property is used to determine the usefulness of greedy algorithms for a problem. [1] Typically, a greedy algorithm is used to solve a problem with optimal substructure if it can be proven by induction that this is optimal at each step. [1] Otherwise, provided the problem exhibits overlapping subproblems as well, divide-and-conquer methods ...
